BDV Solutions acquires Conway-based Arkansas Global Connect

BDV Solutions of Greenville, South Carolina announced Wednesday (April 24) it has acquired Arkansas Global Connect, a Conway-based company that provides U.S. businesses with reliable seasonal labor.

Terms of the private transaction were not disclosed.

Launched in September 2021, AGC built its model on ethical and efficient international staffing and consulting. Primarily utilizing non-immigrant H-2A and H-2B seasonal work visas, the firm has placed workers in fields including hospitality, food processing, agriculture and manufacturing.

Clients include internationally known companies from Arkansas and around the country as well as small and mid-sized enterprises otherwise unable to attract and retain a sufficient number of U.S. employees.

AGC founder and CEO Dana Deree will serve as BDV Solutions Vice President for Seasonal Workforce.

“I’ll always be proud of the AGC team, which has met a tremendous need in the U.S. economy, helped keep prices down for consumers and strengthened the food chain while providing good-paying legal opportunities for foreign nationals who can better provide for their families while building a hopeful future in their home communities,” said Deree.

“By joining forces with BDV Solutions, we will have a truly global reach. Our new partner shares a vision for acting ethically and in the best interest of both workers and employers, and we enjoy a common track record of reliably meeting the needs of diverse enterprises and transforming lives,” he added.

BDV Solutions provides hiring organizations with access to global talent and helps place workers in industries across the U.S. economy.
